Could anyone tell me where I might find details of Luftwaffe raids on the following (apart from the Clydeside Blitz 13-15 March 1941):

FIRST GLASGOW ATTACK 19 July 1940

Hillington & Glasgow 24 July 1940

Glasgow 20 August 1940

Glasgow 17 & 18 & 19 September 1940

Rutherglen 18 September 1940

Renfrew 14 October 1940

Glasgow Johnstone 24 October 1940

Glasgow Rutherglen Coatbridge 4 November 1940

Glasgow 20 & 21 December 1940

Barrhead & Glasgow 25 March 1943

What I am trying to find out is the units/aircraft involved and where their bases were. Any pointers in the right direction would be very gratefully received.

Many Thanks
Keith

For the Blitz period suggest you look at the appendix of my The Luftwaffes Blitz which has just been republished in paperback

Thank you Chris - I did buy it and forgot I had it! It is now out and being perused.
